I’m Will Carter, a Los Angeles-based product designer, programmer, and musician who builds playful tools and privacy-first utilities. I currently lead product design on the iOS/Android app Burner, the market-leading virtual phone number app. Previously I created projects like WTF Tuner, Mobzombies, WTF North, Dumb Baseball, and Firewall, and I moonlight composing synth-driven scores and performing around the West Coast.
